I said, ‘Ho sake toh maaf karo mujhe?(It's my fault. I told her to forgive me).’ I signed her (Parineeti Chopra) one and a half years before the shoot and, for some reason, I didn’t see Geetanjali in her.?Kuch kuch characters kuch kuch logo ko set nahi hota hai?(Some things are not meant to be).?Main kabhi audition main believe nahi karta (I don't believe in auditions). I go by my instinct only. That I know. From day one I have liked her acting and I always wanted to cast her as Preeti, also in 'Kabir Singh'?but hua nahi uss time?(It did not work out)," he was quoted as saying by India Today.?
